Portland Antifa associate Natalia Goudvis pleads GUILTY in attack on videographer, Casey Whalen, outside Clackamas County Courthouse
An Oregon judge has sentenced a mentally unstable Portland Antifa associate to 12 months of probation for committing criminal acts of violence outside of the Clackamas County Courthouse in September. Natalia Leah Goudvis, 26, of Boston, pleaded guilty to charges on Monday. She physically attacked a videographer in a fit of rage after her friend Alissa Azar, a ringleader of Portland Antifa, was sentenced to jail time for a felony riot conviction.
Court documents show that the Clackamas County District Attorney’s Office initially charged Goudvis with physical harassment and second-degree disorderly conduct. As part of a plea agreement, Goudvis pleaded guilty to disorderly conduct in exchange for having the harassment charge dropped. Both charges are Class B misdemeanors.
Goudvis waived her right to appear in court. She has also been ordered to complete 24 hours of community service, take an anger management course, and refrain from having contact with the victim, according to court filings obtained by The Post Millennial.
On September 9, shortly after Azar was sentenced to jail, Goudvis physically attacked an Idaho-based videographer documenting Antifa members reacting to their leader being handcuffed and transported to jail. Goudvis, a devout supporter of Azar, took issue with the victim, Casey Whalen, filming her outside of the courthouse. Oregon state law allows people to be filmed in public settings.
Video footage shows that Goudvis aggressively approached Whalen on the sidewalk and proceeded to rapidly move her body at him in erratic circular motions.
“That’s crazy behavior,” Whalen said to Goudvis, demanding she “stay back.”
Goudvis responded, “I’m just trying to annoy you, bro.” She then lunged toward Whalen, as if about to physically attack him, before walking away. Goudvis returned a few moments later. She pulled out her cell phone and abrasively began filming Whalen, impeding on his personal space, according to the video.
Whalen reacted to the intimidation, saying, “F*ck you, b*tch!”
Goudvis responded to the insult by launching a physical attack on Whalen from behind. Oregon City Police officers witnessed the incident and arrested Goudvis at the scene. She was transported to Clackamas County Jail and was booked on harassment and disorderly conduct charges, according to jail documents.
Records show that Goudvis is a student at Portland State University who is working to become a teacher. She was previously employed by Portland Public Schools as a program specialist. According to her LinkedIn account, Goudvis taught AKA Science curriculum to middle school students and helped train incoming AKA science program specialists.
Throughout Alissa Azar’s five-day jury trial in August, Goudvis was present in the courtroom on a daily basis to provide support to Azar. A jury of primarily women convicted Azar of felony riot and disorderly conduct for her role in a violent 2021 brawl with the Proud Boys at Oregon City’s Clackamette Park. During the trial, it was determined that Azar was a leader and organizer of the Portland Antifa extremist group. Goudvis was seen crying in the gallery after Azar was sentenced to 14 days in jail.
Clackamas County Commissioner Ben West, who has strongly condemned political violence and was present in the courtroom for Azar’s trial, responded to Goudvis’s attack, saying that if the court found her guilty on charges, she should be “denied a teacher’s license with the state.”
“She has NO business influencing our children!” he added.
This case was prosecuted by Clackamas County Deputy District Attorney Laurel Green-Mitchell and was presided over by Judge Cody Weston. Clackamas County is recognized for its law and order policies, as opposed to adjacent Multnomah County, which is home to Portland, Oregon.
Whalen praised Clackamas County for convicting Goudvis, telling The Post Millennial in a statement: “I would like to thank the Clackamas County Sheriff’s Office and the awareness of the Oregon City Police Department for their vigilance outside the Clackamas County Courthouse. The prompt response to the physical attack against me is greatly appreciated. The citizens of the region owe you a debt of gratitude for your service to the community.”
Goudvis did not respond to The Post Millennial’s request for comment. She also blocked TPM reporters on social media, preventing the publication from contacting her further. The Post Millennial reached out to Portland Public Schools to see if they have maintained a working relationship with Goudvis.
